Now you can rent a boyfriend to cure depression with the help of this app!

Yes, as crazy and ridiculous as the title sounds, that's exactly what someone very recently stumbled on. There is now an app that allows people to 'rent a boyfriend' to cure 'depression'. Launched on the 15th of August, the service was founded by 29-year-old Kaushal Prakash who claims he himself “was a victim of depression 3 years ago.” Kaushal who is an interior decorator turned entrepreneur believes he has found the cause of depression. He says, “It’s very simple. A depressed person wishes that someone would listen to what they have to say and understand them. It's not rocket science.”

Although the website reiterates that it is a purely platonic service with the bar between “boy” and “friend”, they still have a cupid in their logo and a multitude of hearts all over the entire website. As of now, their services are offered only in Mumbai and Pune, where people get to pick from 6 handsome young hunks ranging in age from 22 to 25 and with enviable six-pack abs. Kaushal further explained, "I have all A-grade models. You can rent a celebrity for Rs 3000 or a model for up to Rs 2000, or an aam aadmi (commoner) for just Rs 300- 400 per hour."

“RABF ( Rent A Boy|Friend) invites you to Register as a boy|friend. It is an opportunity to travel,relax,outdoor fun activities,casual cafe visit, brunch-lunch-dinner,etc. So, (Models, Celebrity, Aam Aadmi) must be friendly, outgoing, exciting, energetic and possess good communication skills. The great thing is you can CHILL and also get PAID for it. So, overall its a fine platform to generate a source of income.
